Quote
“People come to us for our therapists. They don’t come to us because we’re WorkFitME Mobile PT, our therapists and our therapist reputation have made people aware of WorkFitME Mobile PT, but they trust us because we deliver the care. I think even more so in our fields, it’s our reputation, the therapist’s reputation within the practice [so] personal branding is our number one form of marketing and PR. …People need to know we’re working on their bodies, we’re helping their livelihood, we’re not selling you a car or something…We have a direct impact on their life and their ability to provide and enjoy their life, so that’s huge.” – Dr. Phil Finemore, PT, DPT, owner of WorkFitME Mobile Physical Therapy

About the guest:
Dr. Phil Finemore received his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 2013 and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015 from Husson University in Bangor, Maine. Dr. Phil has spent the last eight years treating a variety of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions in outpatient orthopedic clinics in southern Maine. That experience has proven time and time again that way too many people are being passed around from provider to provider, spending more time in pain and less time living the abundant life they have worked so hard to achieve. That has become Dr. Phil’s goal: help busy Maine professionals, executives and business owners improve their physical performance to live a happy, healthy and wealthy life with their loved ones. Dr. Phil doesn’t work for insurance companies, he works with his clients, getting them results that lead to more abundance in every aspect of life. His mission is to make sure the dreams and aspirations of each of his clients aren’t derailed by preventable injury and pain. Dr. Phil became a physical therapist to help people and that is the number one goal at WorkFitME.
Originally from Oakland, Maine, Dr. Phil is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys playing guitar in his spare time. He and his wife, Mallory, welcomed their first child, Brielle, in May of 2019 and another daughter, Sawyer, in September 2022.
